The list seemed to go on and on. When Brandon's wife Holly suggested renting a lake house for a few weeks it had sounded like fun. He was regretting giving in to her now. They were sharing the place with three other couples and they had come up a day early to get settled in. Their own kids were at a summer camp nearby and they would pick them up in the morning.
"I'm no good at making beds," Brandon reminded Holly, hoping that he could get out of the more frustrating tasks. Trying to figure out the fitted sheet always ended with him raging.
"Kira can help you with those," Holly stated bossily over her shoulder as she walked out the kitchen door with a bucket in her hand. "I'm starting on the windows down here. You guys can start on the kids' room upstairs."
Brandon groaned outwardly because he'd lost the battle, but he was also groaning because it meant spending time with Kira. Mmmm, Kira.
Kira was the college freshman that regularly watched their son and daughter on date nights. She also helped Holly when Brandon traveled for business. At 5'2", Kira was slender. Her long, tan, trim legs seemed to stretch for miles out of the adorable jean shorts she wore. Her chestnut hair hung down her back, almost to her waist. She was constantly pushing the long strands out of her eyes, the unruly tresses falling over her shoulders, hiding her small, perky breasts from lustful eyes.
For the most part, Brandon was a gentleman with Kira. Even though he was only 42, he didn't want to be the creepy old guy that made her job uncomfortable for her. He was always personable and kind to Kira, joking with her about movies that they'd both watched or how she felt about her class subjects.
Lately, however, he couldn't help being more lascivious, more dry, and more ornery. He'd started slipping sexual innuendos into those same, innocent discussions. Careful to keep his expression blank, Brandon wanted to keep her guessing. He'd watch her pause and wonder if he was hitting on her, but he never took it any further so she could never quite be sure he was being lewd on purpose. He liked it best when she would blush. Her cheeks coloring prettily, her breath coming in shallow puffs so that it pushed her breasts against the thin, baggy t-shirts that were always hanging off of her shoulders.
Behaving today was going to be hard. Frankly, Brandon wasn't sure he cared enough to try. Flirting with Kira would help pass the time as they tackled his wife's honey-do list.
"You heard the woman," he said, turning to look down into Kira's big blue eyes, "you better get on those sheets!" He let the innuendo hang as he merrily handed her a stack of sheets from the laundry room. Together they marched up the wide staircase while he enjoyed the view of her swaying backside from behind.
When they reached the top of the stairs, she stopped short, unsure of which direction to go. Brandon came up behind her and whispered into her ear, "The last door on the left." His breath fluttered the hair on her neck and he saw goosebumps form on her skin. He slid by her, barely brushing her as he passed.
Brandon could feel Kira's eyes on him as he walked down the hall grinning wickedly to himself. Maybe he would like changing the sheets after all.
This room had two sets of bunk beds set along one wall. The bottom bunks jutted outward and there were two ladders in the middle for the top bunks. Brandon set his stack of twin sheets on a toy box and walked over to where Kira unfurled a fitted sheet.
"I really am hopeless," he reiterated to her amusement.
"Then maybe you should stay out of my way and just... watch," she stated that last word with purpose and watched for his reaction. Brandon allowed a small smile to lift the corner of his mouth, cocking an eyebrow in her direction. She turned and bent over the mattress, her jean shorts stretching over her ass, rising up to expose the tops of her soft thighs.
Even though Kira had meant her words as a challenge, she was only playing. She was surprised and alarmed when she felt Brandon come up behind her.
"Ah-um," she exhaled loudly, freezing. She was stretched over the mattress, reaching to get the elastic around the furthest corner.
